DNA – Double Helix Structure Each spiral strand is composed of a sugar
phosphate backbone and attached bases 4 Bases: Adenine (A), Guanine(G), Cytosine (C), and Thymine (T). Form Base Pairs; A with T and C with G in
the complementary strand via hydrogen bonding (non- covalent) The strands can be cut byrestriction enzymes, e.g. ECOR1

Bacteria are often used in biotechnology as they have plasmids
A plasmid a circular piece of DNA that exists apart from the chromosome and replicates independently of it.
![Page 4: Recombinant DNA and Polymerase Chain Reaction](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042721/577c78aa1a28abe054909f4c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

DNA that has been cut from one strand of DNA and then inserted into the gap of another piece of DNA that has been broken.
The host DNA is often a bacterial cell such as E coli.
The purpose of splicing the gene into the host DNA is to produce many copies of it.
As bacteria reproduce in a very short time it is possible to make millions of copies of the gene fairly quickly.
![Page 6: Recombinant DNA and Polymerase Chain Reaction](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042721/577c78aa1a28abe054909f4c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The required gene e.g. Insulin, is cut from the DNA using a restriction enzyme.
A circular piece of DNA, called a plasmid, is removed from the bacterial cell and is cut open using the same restriction enzyme.
The cut out human gene is then mixed with the bacterial plasmids in a test tube.
Because they have been cut with the same enzyme, the cut ends of the plasmid and the end of the human gene match. Often called ‘sticky ends’
The enzyme DNA ligase is used to stick the ends together.

Now the plasmids that contains the introduced gene (recombinant DNA) need to be reintroduced into the bacteria so they can multiply and make more of the gene.
Can be done by combining them in a test tube with CaCl2. The high concentration of calcium ions makes the membranes of the bacteria more porous.
This then allows the plasmids to move into the bacterial cells.
Not all bacteria will take up a plasmid and this is why the monitoring musthappen.
![Page 9: Recombinant DNA and Polymerase Chain Reaction](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042721/577c78aa1a28abe054909f4c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It is necessary to isolate the host bacteria that contain the gene that has been spliced as only want the recombinant DNA
By having a gene on the same plasmid that gives resistance to an antibiotic, the other bacteria can be removed by culturing the bacteria in a medium that contains the antibiotic.
The bacteria containing the resistance to the antibiotic will survive and the others will be killed by the antibiotic.

Plasmids will not work as well in eukaryotic organisms like plants and animals
Other methods need to be used to insert the DNA
Viral vectors can be used for animal cells. The virus can ‘inject’ their DNA into an
animal host cell.

Diabetics having reactions to porcine/animal insulin
Wheat crops being attacked by insects People sick with cystic fibrosis All these can be fixed by recombinant DNA!!!
On a Flow Chart show the steps involved in making recombinant DNA for a desired gene. From cutting of the gene to the final product (this may involve the delivery method)

Now we have made the gene – how do we get lots of
copies??

E.Coli Plasmid is cut with the same restriction enzyme used to cut the insulin gene
Insulin gene is cut from a pancreatic cell DNA using a specific restriction enzyme
insulin - Bacterial cells when supplied with required polypeptides or proteins, the colonies will produce insulin
E.g Vaccines- The plamids are isolated from the e.coli cells, the genes are then amplifyed via PCR and used to create inactivated viruses for vaccines

The complementary strands of DNA can be separated and re-associated by heating and cooling
One strand of DNA specifies the sequence of the other strand
